Local SEO without physical office

I am running a local service based business out of my home and with employees that are also at home. We do not have an office, only a virtual mailbox address since my business does not require a storefront. We are servicing clients at their office or remotely over the phone.

I am trying to figure out how viable local SEO is for this setup. I was wondering if I should do citations and use my virtual mailbox address. I was also wondering if my business can still show up in local pack or if there's something I need to change in GMB to enable that. I already have pages setup for cities in my area but they are not ranking so I'm trying to figure out what else I can do considering my business doesn't have a storefront or physical office.

My competitors have physical addresses and I see them showing up in local pack. I do not want an office for my business and it looks like I am at a disadvantage because of that. Most local seo information I find is based around a storefront address which we do not have or need.

Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas about this issue.

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
